Johann Sebastian Bach’s 200 chorales are a testament to this composer’s greatness. The power of his music is undiminished after more than 300 years. Nothing sounds more natural than performing these chorales with a cello ensemble. The cello, with its warm tonal quality and more than 4 octave range has the ability to directly take over the choir's four voices: soprano, alto, tenor and bass. These arrangements for cello ensemble are written with exactly the same pitches as the choir’s original voices.

-Hans Erik Deckert

This collection of five chorales consists of the following works:

Sei gegrüsset, Jesu gütig

Jesu, meine Freude

Von Himmel hoch

Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern

Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme
